Des O'Driscoll: Corcadorca's Disco Pigs stands as one of Cork's cultural moments

Eileen Walsh and Cillian Murphy in Disco Pigs.
. Triskel Arts Centre. 1996. Looking at the key cultural moments in Cork of the latter half of the 20th century, it’s up there with the best of them. The Rolling Stones at the Savoy, Rory Gallagher at the City Hall, Nirvana at Sir Henrys… Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh in Enda Walsh’s new play. It really was that big.
For those of us lucky enough to be in that small dark room on Tobin Street, it wasn’t just a Ground Zero in terms of our consumption of culture. This was close to a life-changing experience.
